"Holy Modernity, Batman! I'm Bisexual!?" - they're coming for your characters (media.communities.win)

Batman’s beloved boy wonder sidekick, Robin, has come out as bisexual in a recent issue for DC Comics, a reveal that follows an ongoing trend throughout the comic book world.

“The story goes … Robin had a ‘lightbulb moment’ while fighting side-by-side with Bernard. After coming to his rescue as Robin, Tim later hits up Bernard’s pad, and you can see the anticipation’s building ’cause he hypes himself up, saying … ‘It’s OK, Tim. You got this.'”

Just as Bernard opens the door to ask Tim on a date, Tim abruptly says, “I’m really glad you got home okay. I was relieved. And I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, about that night. And I — I don’t know what it meant to me. Not yet. But I’d like to figure it out.”

“I was hoping you would. Tim Drake … do you want to go on a date with me?” Bernard asks.

The issue ends as Robin says yes, leaving the reader on a cliffhanger until the next installment. Members of the LGBTQ community celebrated the reveal on social media.

"This tweet made it in a few articles out there so I just wanted to say that all of your favorite characters are queer and they WILL be taken from you, and there's nothing you can do about it 🥴"

They can only be this smug on the internet.

So anyone preoccupied with being an actual adult and not reading this dogshit is utterly unaffected, while the colossal soys reading it will be disappointed in a quiet perpetuity because leftist propaganda isn't something you're intended to enjoy. Pretentious sophistry is never an enjoyable thing regardless of the medium, regardless of political expectations.

Kids read comics, too. It's a little depressing there are fewer and fewer places parents can relax about their kids not being infected with modern propaganda.

This right here.

Everything a kid engages in is inundated with the Rainbow Reich nonsense.

Comics, video games, everything on PBS, it's disgusting. Before you could easily blame parents for buying their kid GTA only for them to complain saying "Hey, this game has sex and bad language in it!" because the common sense response is that they should have been a better parent and NOT buy their kid an M-rated game.

But now it's not just M-rated games... it's Teen rated games like Overwatch and Fortnite. It's edutainment like Blues Clues, Clifford The Big Red Dog, and even Sesame Street! It's in young adult literature, graphic novels, Saturday morning cartoons, and just about every other streaming show on TV and network services.

Parents literally now have to curate every single thing their kid consumes, because the Leftist degeneracy propagates every single medium from nearly top to bottom.

Yep... really, the only way around it is to either prevent your kids from watching any Western media, or only show them material made in the 1990s or earlier. I for one plan to have a constant stream of Looney Tunes at the ready.

Thing is I remember being a kid and thinking "wow, this is really fucking gay." everytime some idealogue started preaching their shit within a cartoon or a movie or whatever. Some people would say that entertainment is malleable but I think there is a threshold to what can be forced. Kids like to have fun, this is the opposite - like that anti-drug cartoon special with Peewee Herman trying to dissuade you from doing crack, but instead this time trying to convince you that it's okay to cut your weiner off or trying to muddy the waters to impose some horriscope of a gender onto you, or make you feel that you're a monster because you happen to be white. I think that sense of "this is fucking stupid" will always persist, because these people pathologically cannot keep their mouths shut ever and they are blind to how people see them. They are that out of touch with reality, and cannot, will not, ever stop posturing. Ever.

I think it'll likely steer many kids away from these mediums for how stupid, alien, and generally atonal to fun they are and possibly stir the opposite. It's already a delusional, contrived political clusterfuck as is.

Look at all these downvotes! Reddit must be making its rounds today.

The library is basically off limits to my kids (if it was even open). There's baby books about white privilege, downright religious shrines to greata thornburg, and practically more toys and computers than books anyway.

The ultimate plot twist: Wertham was right about Batman and Robin.

Did anyone really give a shit about robin? He is basically the wesley crusher of the bat family.

Damien was slightly interesting just because he is such a psycho but the rest are just there to be imperiled by villians.

Wrong Robin. The Wesley Crusher of the Bat family is Jason Todd.

You know, as appropriate as that classification is (hyper-capable author insert that's too pure for this world), even when Roddenberry was still alive (actually moreso then) Wesly still failed/had to overcome challenges, unlike most modern characters fitting that classification. I just think it's hilarious that even the creator of the series whose fanfiction spawned the term (from a satirical story) added such a character to his creation.

It's a young person who is infatuated with the actor who portrayed Simon Phoenix in Demolition Man.

This is why manga is destroying comics. I hope the comic industry completely collapses, maybe then they will listen to the fans
